🤖🎨 Fascinating meeting with the @DCMS, expertly facilitated by @designcouncil & @catdrew_ ! We delved deep into the world of #AI and its evolving impact on design & creative sectors. At @weareskribbl, we've always championed the harmony of human creativity & responsible use of AI. Today's conversation reaffirmed our belief that while AI can be a powerful tool, it should NEVER be used to replace the role of human artists. 🙌✍️ 🚫 For brands that agree that it's crucial we use AI responsibly, learn more about our stance and show your support by signing the #OnlyHumanArtDeclaration at onlyhumanart.com/ #OnlyHumanArt #SkribblForCreativity #AIinDesign #KeepArtHuman ❤️👩‍🎨🤖

Nice blog sharing different perspectives (policymaker, community innovator, designer, evaluator) from our mission-led design programme with @MayorofLondon. Collaboration not competition, spreading impact rather than scaling.
